Gold Standard PBL:
Project Based
Teaching Practices
Teachers who make Project Based Learning a
regular part of their teaching enjoy their new role,
although for some it might take time to adjust
from traditional practice. It’s fun to get creative
when designing a project, instead of just using “off
the shelf” curriculum materials. Most teachers
like working collaboratively with their colleagues
when planning and implementing projects, and
interacting with other adults from the community or
the wider world. And PBL teachers find it rewarding
to work closely alongside students, tackling a realStandard

Teaching Practices
teachers don’t “teach” in a PBL classroom. Many
traditional practices remain, but are reframed in

launch to culmination while allowing for some
degree of student voice and choice.
Align to Standards
Teachers use standards to plan the project and

Teachers explicitly and implicitly promote student
independence and growth, open-ended inquiry,

Engage & Coach
When transitioning to PBL, one of the biggest
hurdles for many teachers is the need to give up
some degree of control over the classroom, and
trust in their students. But even though they are
more often the “guide on the side” than the “sage on
the stage,” this most certainly does not mean that

Teachers engage students in their learning and
work alongside them to identify when they need
skill-building, redirection, encouragement, and
celebration.
